Semua Bab Stop It, She’s Remarrying!: Bab 431 - Bab 440

After Fia and Conrad finished breakfast, he carried her into the car.Fia sat in the passenger seat, nervously wringing her hands together. When she heard Conrad get into the driver's seat, she asked worriedly, "Why don't I wait till I get my college diploma before following you to the office?"She was worried that his employees would see her and think that she was a disgrace, since she was not only blind, but she also didn't have any qualifications!Conrad took her hand and said in a calm and forceful voice, "A person's talent is more than just a diploma. The two designs that my company bought from you led to a new wave of business. No one will look down on you when I tell them that you were the designer responsible for that.""But how do I explain that I don't have my diploma right now...?""You've been smart since you were a child. I'm sure it won't take long before you have it in hand."Fia's mind was still in a mess, so it was good that Conrad had arranged everything for her

Fia's brow twitched. "Hmm... Are you sure? She seemed overly enthusiastic when she saw you."Conrad frowned but then briefly told her of the incident when he had driven too fast and almost hit Annie.Fia listened, then gave him a helpless smile and said, "Oh, so that's what happened..."But even though she couldn't see, she could hear the adoration and eagerness in the girl's tone just now.Should she say anything about it? But it was obvious that Conrad didn't care about the girl at all. It would seem petty of her if she were to bring it up.For now, she would put it aside. She and Conrad had started over, and getting here had been a difficult journey. She didn't want to make a big deal out of nothing.After entering his office, Conrad had to attend the morning meeting. He placed Fia on the couch and made sure she was comfortable before leaving the room.Before entering the conference room, Conrad looked at the senior executives in the room and stopped."What's wrong, Mr. Maxw

Did Fia simply like plain-style designs, or was it because Jason was a factor in it?Everyone knew that Argonauts Corp's line, Gentle Stream, was a reflection of their chairman, Garett's love for his beloved Clarice!And as Jason was Argonauts Corp's successor, Fia must be aware that Garett's love for Clarice was a great irony and hurt to Conrad!Yet, she still helped Jason?!"What's wrong?" Fia asked, sensing that there was something off about Conrad, and reached out to touch his arm.Conrad swatted her hand away instinctively, and the atmosphere between them froze momentarily.Like a bucket of cold water had been thrown on her, Fia bit her lip and panicked. "A-are you angry because I don't want to specialize in extravagant and alternative designs?"Conrad looked at her but said nothing.Fia grasped her earbud tighter. "When my eyes get better, I'll still draw those kinds of designs. You can always talk to me and give me suggestions if there are any in mind."After a pause,

The following day, Conrad and Fia had breakfast and went to the office as usual.Conrad still had his morning meeting to attend, and Fia waited for him to leave before calling Eileen to continue their topic about what to get for Conrad's birthday.Eileen whined from the other end of the line, "Fia, this is such a difficult question! You might as well ask a guy for suggestions!""Who would I ask?""You could ask Mr. Whitley.""No way. Mr. Whitley is tacky. He'll probably suggest things like limited branded goods. That's so gaudy! It wouldn't have much meaning!"Eileen hesitated, then said, "Then... Do you want to ask Doctor Evans?"Fia was stunned. She hadn't spoken to Jason in a long while."Well? Have you been in touch with Doctor Evans lately?""No. It would be best if I didn't ask him about this. It's weird.""Well... you're right. You owe him a favor, after all. Asking him about a gift for your husband is like stabbing him in the heart too.""If you already know that, wh

"Conrad, do you think... Do you think she could still be alive?" Fia whispered, clutching Conrad's hand as if holding onto a lifeline.Conrad frowned, bringing up his hand to pet her head gently."She's dead."He pressed a finger to smoothen the furrow between her brows and continued, "She'll never hurt you again."Fia shook her head, her body trembling as she felt like her nerves were fried from the terror of her dream."It felt so real...!"Conrad felt his heart ache at her state, and he carefully pulled her into his arms."Fia, it's all over now. It was just a dream."A suffocating feeling overwhelmed Fia when she thought about the dream again, and she pushed Conrad away."I can't breathe. Don't hold me too tightly."Conrad was stunned. He hadn't been holding her too tightly, but he released his grip on her when he heard her words.She fumbled around the bed frantically and said, "Where's my phone? Where is it? I want to listen to my lecture."Listening to her lectures w
